WINEHOUSE HAILED A 'STYLE ICON' BY LAGERFELD

Troubled singer AMY WINEHOUSE has a found an unlikely fan in KARL LAGERFELD - the fashion designer has likened the star to BRIGITTE BARDOT and hailed her as a "style icon". Lagerfeld admires the Rehab hitmaker for her bold, beehived-shaped hairstyle, and even recreated the style on the models at his recent Chanel show in London. He says, "She is a style icon. She is a beautiful, gifted artist. And I very much like her hairdo. I took it as an inspiration. Because, in fact, it was also Brigitte Bardot's hairdo in the late Fifties and Sixties. And now Amy has made it her own style. So, when I saw her, I knew it was the right moment. Amy... she is the new Brigitte."
